You will own and elevate the end‑to‑end procurement function for a multi‑unit organization, shaping strategy, operating model, and performance. You will design policies, optimize processes, and ensure every dollar spent delivers maximum value, mitigates risk, and supports growth, quality, and brand standards.

You will set the vision and long‑term strategy for strategic procurement, translating business and financial goals into clear category, sourcing, and supplier relationship plans. You’ll lead a high‑performing team, modernize systems and processes, and partner closely with Operations, Construction, Finance, IT, and other stakeholders to source goods and services at the right time, cost, risk profile, and quality.

You are a strategic, analytical procurement leader who enjoys turning complexity into clear structure and scalable processes. You think in systems, are comfortable making decisions with data, and can move fluidly between executive‑level strategy and hands‑on negotiations, contract, or category work. You love developing people, building strong supplier partnerships, and collaborating cross‑functionally to unlock cost savings, resilience, and long‑term value for the organization.
